Walk From Work Instead

From Street: Time immemorial people have walked to work. With global warming, it’s more appreciated. But that’s a topic for another day.
The government has come out categorically, accusing the opposition for intending to cause public uprising. Apparently, according to government machinery, the walkers had sinister motives. They intended to converge at Christ the King Church, and launch a massive civil disobedience campaign called Freedom Day at Constitutional Square.
This comes on aftermath of an election period that the incumbent government won with 68%. Figuratively, it means 68% of the Ugandan population supports the incumbent. This is a method of research called Sampling.
If 60% of registered voters vote and 68% of them vote for the incumbent, what makes you not think that 68% of the walk to work demonstrators also are supporters of the incumbent? Therefore, the Opposition only has 32% of the participants. The only difference is that prominent opposition figures are participating in the demonstration, while prominent government officials are keen to stop them.
Wait, if they are stopped from walking to work, let them walk from work. If police asks why they are walking from work, simple answer, it was a bad day at office.
